Hi Guys,
I'm stumped. I am building a corner cupboard that has a lower part and an upper part. Total 89" Tall (Shop is taller that my shop ceiling and I really can't stack them there.)
For the lower case 33" tall I glued up on my table saw and used squares to align the parts as the glue set up. It looks right but I won't be sure till I slide it in place at one of our elders’ homes.
The top part is going to be 55-57" when trimmed out. I have it dry fitted together with screws. ¾” Birch ply for sides and dadoed shelves, Lyptus for the face frames, doors, etc.
There is about an 8” open section in the back (chopped off point of the triangle) and I can measure it to square it, but the front isn’t straight across. In your mind picture the ply sides flush with the wall on each side then a 7” section coming out 90 degrees to them then turning 45 degrees to form the front. I suppose I could leave the face frames off during the glue up, (but think they will help with the final alignment.) and square from the corners of the top shelf to the bottom shelves.
Any suggestions welcome.
